Welcome back!
I hope everyone had a great
summer and avoided any
hurricane damage.

that must be met. For our Professional Engineers, this meeting will qualify as an Advanced Building Code
Course. Seating is limited, so RSVP now!
The Annual Clay Shoot is also set for Friday, November

ASHRAE FWC at Citrus Park Elementary By Christopher Martinez
Photo: Mr. Martinez (left), Mrs. Miller (center), Mr. Fiabani (right).
The ASHRAE FWC Chapter jumped right in with student activities. In August, Christopher Martinez and his
associate Vinicius Fiabani volunteered at Citrus Park Elementary. There they helped Mrs. Miller and other
First Grade teachers prepare for the coming school year. Despite the 12 man-hours volunteered to help get
a head start for the year, there were still tasks left over. Mr. Martinez encourages ASHRAE FWC members, family, and friends to volunteer whenever they can, in any way they can. Please contact us if you’re
interested in helping out with K-12 activities, professional development events, or other activities. We are
also happy to collect individual donations in an effort to create large, singular donations for schools and
student related activities.

Membership Promotion Submitted by Malia Powers As we start off a new year I would like to welcome new Florida West Coast Members, as well as any
Student Chapter Members that have graduated. With this I would like to mention the Smart Start
Program. This program was developed to decrease the costs of transitioning from a Student Member to Associate Member.
$20 – First Year Associate Membership
$50 – Second Year Associate Membership $50 – Third Year Associate Membership
Participants in this program still receive all of the benefits of Associate Membership, but at a considerably
discounted rate (Current Associate Member dues are $190 per year). Information can be found at:
www.ashrae.org/smartstart.
If you have any questions, please contact me at: [email protected]
Research Promotion Submitted by Leon Boe Many of you might not know, but ASHRAE raises millions of dollars every year that is used for research
projects. The result of these projects creates the standards and guidelines that we all use every day.
Each and every dollar raised goes 100% toward research. I am tasked this year with raising $23,000 here
locally for research. I NEED YOUR HELP!
Over the last few years we have been working closely with the ASHRAE USF Student Branch. We have
built a large interest with the students and they are eager to pursue our industry. We have made it our
mission this year to try and bring ASHRAE research money to USF. Let's give them some experience now
that sustains their enthusiasm for HVAC after graduation. These students are our future employees!
Please make your contributions either by check ‘Payable to ASHRAE RP’ and turn them in to me or if you
prefer you can make online donations at:
www.ashrae.org/contribute
If you make a donation online, please forward me a copy of the emailed invoice so I can ensure that
proper credit is given. I can be contacted at:
So far we are at 5% of goal. Deadline is June 30, 2017. I'd like to personally thank each and every
investor so far.

2016-2017 NEWSLETTER AND WEBSITE
SPONSORSHIP PRICING PACKAGES
ASHRAE (formerly known as American Society of Heating, Refrigerating and Air Conditioning Engineers) is a
building technology society with more than 50,000 members worldwide. The Society and its members focus on
building systems, energy efficiency, indoor air quality, refrigeration and sustainability within the industry. Through
research, standards writing, publishing and continuing education, ASHRAE shapes tomorrow’s built environment
today.
ASHRAE was founded in 1894 at a meeting of engineers in New York City and has held an annual meeting since
1895. Until 1954 it was known as the American Society of Heating and Ventilating Engineers (ASHVE); in that year
it changed its name to the American Society of Heating and Air-Conditioning Engineers (ASHAE). Its current name
and organization came from the 1959 merger of ASHAE and the American Society of Refrigerating Engineers
(ASRE). The result, ASHRAE, despite having 'American' in its name, is an influential international organization.
Amongst other international activities, it helps organize international events.
The society promotes the design and installation of HVAC systems at the highest levels, through publication of Data
Books and Handbooks covering all relevant topics, legislative involvement, establishment and support of a research
foundation, and standardization of design qualifications.
The Florida West Coast Chapter of ASHRAE was chartered in February 1956 to promote industry standards and best
practices at the local level. The local chapter enjoys a strong meeting participation, and generates operating revenue
through chapter activities like the annual golf tournament, sporting clay shoot, and specialized learning opportunities
with visiting lecturers. A large portion of the proceeds from these activities goes to establish and maintain various
local college scholarships, to promote further interest in the HVAC engineering profession following graduation.
Along with the aforementioned activities, our most valuable resource for generating operating capital remains
sponsorships. Via its monthly newsletter and newly updated website, http://www.ashrae-fwc.org/, the Florida
West Coast Chapter of ASHRAE is a resource for its members, and can be an effective tool for promotion of your
company, product, or service.
The newsletter is published 10 times per ASHRAE year (September through June of the following year), and is
distributed via email ahead of the monthly chapter meetings. In each newsletter, the chapter officers contribute
articles that focus on industry happenings, legislative changes, educational opportunities, and more. The current
email recipient list is over 1,000 individuals. The chapter website is updated monthly, and includes information on
upcoming events, event photographs, posts resumes and career opportunities, and contains useful links to industry
resources. The website currently has over 40,000 individual IP computer hits since its launch in September 2013.
